Given

Required

Determine the actual length

First, we need to represent the scale as a ratio:

Next, we represent the scale length and actual length as another ratio:

Where x represent the actual measurement when

Equate both ratios:

Convert to fractions

Convert to improper fraction

Cross Multiply

Divide through by 2

the answer is 0.5 mpm

step-by-step explanation:

the line goes half way through the square each time (which is 0.5 or half of course) so that would mean its 0.5 mpm.

3 is greater then both of those numbers
